Cheese doughnuts with strawberry sauce – an irresistible delight, perfect for concluding a memorable meal! This recipe, with deep roots in culinary tradition, reminds us of happy moments spent with family around the table, tasting the goodies prepared with love. The doughnuts, with their fluffy texture and unmistakable aroma, pair perfectly with the sweet-sour strawberry sauce, turning each serving into a true celebration of flavor. Total preparation time: 1 hour Number of servings: 4-6 Ingredients For the doughnuts: - 400 g fresh cow cheese (choose a quality, creamy cheese for an ideal texture) - 200 - 300 g white wheat flour (you will adjust according to the dough consistency) - 2 fresh eggs (be mindful of their temperature; room temperature eggs integrate better) - 40 g butter (melted and slightly cooled) - a pinch of salt - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon baking soda (this will help the doughnuts rise) - rum and vanilla extracts to taste (a drop of almond extract adds an extra flavor) - juice and zest from half a lemon (these will provide freshness and a perfect balance of taste) - 30 g vanilla sugar (ideally with vanilla bean for an authentic flavor) For the sauce: - 50 ml water - 200 g strawberries (use ripe, flavorful strawberries) - 100 g granulated sugar - 50 g vanilla sugar Preparation Step 1: Preparing the strawberry sauce 1. In a small saucepan, add 50 ml of water along with 100 g of granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves. 2. Add the crushed strawberries (you can use a fork or a blender to mash them) and let the mixture simmer over moderate heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Step 2: Preparing the doughnuts 1. In a large bowl, combine the fresh cow cheese, eggs, melted butter, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. 2. Incorporate the rum, vanilla, and almond extracts, as well as the lemon juice and zest. These flavors will transform the doughnuts into a truly special dessert. 3. Sift the flour and baking soda over the wet mixture, gradually adding flour until the dough becomes elastic and fluffy. If it's too sticky, feel free to add one or two more tablespoons of flour. 4. Shape the doughnuts, ensuring they are round and uniform, with a small hole in the center (this will help them bake evenly). 5. In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the doughnuts and fry them until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Step 3: Serving 1. Sprinkle vanilla sugar over warm doughnuts for an extra touch of sweetness. 2. Arrange the doughnuts on a platter and pour the warm strawberry sauce over them. This contrast between hot and cold, sweet and sour, will make every bite a true feast. 3. Optionally, you can also add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to further enhance the tasting experience. Practical tips - Choosing cheese: A low-fat fresh cow cheese will give the doughnuts a lighter taste, but if you want a richer flavor, choose a cheese with a higher fat content. - Flour: Use high-type flour for a fluffier texture. Don't forget to sift the flour to remove lumps. - Baking option: If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the doughnuts in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes. You will achieve a less greasy texture, but just as delicious. - Storage: The doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, but it's recommended to consume them fresh to enjoy all the flavor. Nutritional notes - A serving of doughnuts may contain approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. - Fresh cow cheese is an excellent source of protein, while strawberries provide vitamins and antioxidants. Frequently asked questions - Can I use other fruits for the sauce? Absolutely! You can experiment with raspberries, blueberries, or even peaches. Each fruit will add a unique flavor. - What drinks pair well with the doughnuts? A fresh lemonade or a fruit tea will perfectly complement this dessert. If you prefer something more sophisticated, a semi-dry white wine can be an excellent choice. - Can I freeze the doughnuts? Yes, you can freeze them. You can bake them and then store them in freezer bags. When you want to consume them, let them thaw and quickly fry them to reheat. Personal story I fondly remember the first time I made doughnuts. I was a child and decided to prepare them with my grandmother. We filled the kitchen with laughter and aromas, and the result was a dessert that brought smiles to everyone's faces. Since then, the recipe has become a tradition in our family, lovingly prepared every year, especially when strawberry season approaches. Prepare this recipe and let yourself be carried away by its tastes and aromas. Cheese doughnuts with strawberry sauce are more than just a dessert; they are an experience, a memory, a celebration of culinary joy. Enjoy!
